This is his Honor's first Court here, nee his elevation to the Bench, and ho has inde a very highly favorable impression by ic dignity, courtesy and ability with which e discharges the duties of his high office. The Return of the present Tovm is quite mall, not cxecedigg 150 cases, and the Sumtary Process Docket did not nfiord much litiation. On the Criminal side of the Court, lore is but little business pending during the resent Term, but the Solicitor is promised a ieh harvest, at the next Sessions.

Hanking would tliii-< become simplified, and its expensos iniU'li reduced. There woiiM be no need of n corpse of officers to keep complicated accounts with agencies nbroad, nor of travelling Presidents at 11ii;li salaries, Jjauks tlius organized, would, if \v??lI managed, yield regular d videiids to tlieir stockholders of eight, per cent, per nnuiuii, not likely to lie impaired by heavy losses.

Effect of Suspension. The effect <>f suspension (if spi'cic payments by tlif Imnks is (his : whatever tlio difference of value may be between specie ami what, 1111 dor n system of suspension, constitute current funds?notes mid depositor, tlint. is, in tlio suspended bnnks?to the extent of tliat difference tlio suspension causes an abatement upon nil debts falling duo. It is n scheme much of the same sort with those abrogations of debts of which we road in the history of tlio nneieut Republic*. If suspended bank paper is at- a discount of ten per cent, ns compared with specie, then every man who owes a hundred dollars will be enabled to pay that, debt with ? , imki UM- t;i cun.i iiiu uiiicrurcc uuIm'ccii paper nnd specie, tlic less will be obliged to day. U is easy, therefore, wc sec why those heavily debt are always in favor of sn?pensioa by 1 he banks, though, nfter all, it is only those who owe more than they have owing to them who arc really benefitted by stieh n movement. For the same reason it is easy to see why those Stnles ami eilies which have suspended nre always exceedingly anxious to involve in I lie Mine suspension all the rest vf the country. It is also evident that the interest of New York, af a whole, is decidedly , at all times, against suspension, however convenient it. might be to certain deeply-indebted individual*. New York, as being the centre of trade, and furnishing a large part of the capi I :i 1 for I In* extended incrcha utile operations of the,whole country, is always, on the whole, n creditor city. New York always lias more money to receive from tlie country than to I my to it. The payment made bv New York arii to a very large extent ina<fo to foreign countries. The foreign trade being mainly carried on through New York, this creates in our accounts with the rest of the country an immensb balance in our favor. From the circumstances that so heavy an amount of our payments is to be made abroad, and must be inadu in specie, or iU^qui vHlent, New York, in case of a suspension of specie payments, can never stand on the same level with the rest of tho country. While the rest of the country gains all the benefits of the operation, we slitter all tho loss. Our. debts from .the Smintry for foreign goods sold ?for consmnp j fen are paid to us at the rate of 80 or AO, perhaps tiO or 70 ccnts on the dollar, or oven lew, while we are obliged to pay for those very good* 100 cents ou a dollar. It is, therefore, the plain interest of New York, as it is also the plain interest of Boston and Now Orleans, if not of Philadelphia and Baltimore, to main tain the spfi'elo Viiluo for tlw liquidation of debts*. 1 ho only argument iu favor *V>f ?uspending fpeeie, payment*, is that it may ennldo business tnuu: to uo on and nav who otherwise might stop and fuil. lint it is just iis well to give relief by way of extension or composition, ns to receive only a port of a leht duo os though it were the whole. Bolides, those debtors ujlio are renlly insolvent will foil just'pt. intwh under ? suspension of inecio .payments 'ns bofore.^ Undoubtedly Ihcte are many solvent houses to whiolj Very. :bnsideralll?j indulgence will bb needed to cii?ble tliefn t?r go onjbnt >1 is better they thould have it on a show, of assets, u?d after explanation with,their .creditors, tjhfn . to nive tlifsuuie indulgence extended to everybody. solvent and insolvent efflfe. . +<* **> ' r.Jne OeTonta Eivxruni.?rV** rwyl*Aoio,.Obio ?nd Iowa hold Stnte elections pu the .a/jpond ,, I'ucaday of this mo?tl>.

Secretary Cobb is jwinniug golden opinion* iim r.iv? Ill Me of lh<> North, whose duty is tV have ea*h (coin) in Imnd at this time. To ht4 foresight, sound liberality and promptness of action do they, for the most part, attribute tlic ability of "the New York bunks, to j-,?y specie, just now and thus to pave the way for tho cpeedy and i?oiK-ral resumption elsewhere. The New York Times explains the train o? circumstances which has just proved Him to bo the "friend in need" to the community at large, without in imj* manner compromising the public interest or transgressing tho strict line of JJemoeratie otiieinl propriety, as foTTowR. Such a narrative from such n aoijree. \fill prove a-* valuable to Secretary Cobb's future, as it is unexpected ; .> "The Secretary of the Treasury lias done the coll tin (I ill 13' ?>t" merchants, bankers nml oilier l?usiness people ? service through the invent trial in money affairs. lie hns prompt iy ntul ruiilioiinly for thirty ilnya pnst rhnn'od the tlic itovoniment disbursements to the lnrijwt measure of peeuniaiy relief., We linvo seldom known u public functioniitfyuiidcr eimihu circumstances to mnnifest bo much practical sympathy.
